This is why after I found my perfect seating position, I disconnected the wires under the seat that adjust the position.

That is why this year I am prepping for some Bride Stradia without sliding rails.

What we really need is a telescoping steering wheel. My back is killing me from arms being stretched out.
DarkJak and critical like this.

Agreed...I'm only 5"9 and I miss it. That is the only option I miss from my G35S. That and the adaptive headlights.

This x1000.

It'd make finding the driving position much easier. Right now I don't let anyone move it, because it would take me so darn long to refind it. And I'm only 5'10", 165. Can't imagine the contortions a 6'5" person would have to go through to fit. Forget about comfort O_o

The base model seats give slightly more room in the cabin. I just think its enough to help. But you can't give it whirl? Unless its the base u drove???

Keeping my right knee and leg to the outside of the wheel is good but brake application is difficult.
I'm like 6'0'' or 6'1'' about 190-195lbs.
